My favourite Australian film is Babe, closely followed by Moulin Rouge.

There is a really creepy Aussie film about a couple who go on a "getting away from it all" camping trip to a secluded beach (spoiler removed), but I can't remember the title.

Edited to add: Found it: "Long Weekend" - Seriously creepy.

Another excellent spooky Aussie film is Picnic at Hanging Rock.

Pitch Black was Australian too. Shame the sequel is a stinker...

Picnic at hanging rock had something about it.

And there is a whole generation of people who recall a naked Jenny Agutter in Walkabout. Snigger snigger.

Of course, with the huge Fox studios down there - Australian movies also include the Matrix trilogy and Mission Impossible 2.

I was in Sydney when they were filming Matrix 2 and 3. Lots of the streets were closed on a Sunday for some car chase moves..

The Castle and The Nugget spring to mind!

Oh yes, Chopper wasn't bad either...

What was that film with Russell Crow about immigrants and violence in the 70s?

Poor post, sitting here as if there are no other good Aussie flicks.
If you are into movies, I suggest you check out a couple of films featuring Hugo Weaving.
Proof, and The Interview. (Proof also features an early Russell Crowe.
